Description
- Sir Peter Paul Rubens
- Hercules and Minerva fighting Mars
- oil on panel
Provenance
Possibly with Asscher, Koetser and Welker, London, by 1925.
Literature
Possibly J.S. Held, The oil sketches of Pieter Paul Rubens, New Yersey, 1980, vol. I, p. 332 and vol. II, nr. 253 and 254.
Catalogue Note
The composition derives from a sketch by Rubens listed by Held as on the London art trade (J. Held, The oil sketches of Peter Paul Rubens, New Yersey, 1980, vol. I, p. 332). The present painting is possibly mentioned as a 'doubtful' sketch by Rubens in the collection of Asscher, Koetser and Welker, with corresponding measurements.
